David,
Okay... time for me to eat some crow. This is a bug. I've tried it on
Mac, Windows and Solaris and if you have a runtime error, the debug
model will correctly update, but the "switch perspective" functionality
doesn't work.
The good news is that the IDL Workbench will show you where the error is
via the instruction pointer, even opening the file with the error. The
bad news is that you'll have to manually switch to the debug perspective.
I'll log a bug report on this. Sorry you had to go through all that
frustration and effort. I'm curious about how your other machine
worked. If you hit a breakpoint, the "switch perspective" functionality
should work.
Thanks for keeping at this and helping us find the problem.
Cheers,
Doug
